In order to transfer out (USD 20M) twenty million United States Dollars)
from African Development Bank. I have the courage to ask you to look for a
reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important business
believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr.JOE the Chief auditor of African Development Bank (ADB). There is an
account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1980 nobody has operated on
this account again. After going through some old files in the records, I
discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would be
forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Smith B.andreas, a
foreigner, and a miner at kruger gold co., a geologist by profession and he
died since 1990. No other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation
proved to me as well that this company does not know anything about this
account and the amount involved is (USD 20M) twenty million United States
Dollars million dollars.
I want to first transfer USDM ten million United States Dollars from this
money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I don't
know any foreigner. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this
money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to
any foreign account because the money is in us dollars and the former owner
of the account is Mr. Smith B.Andreas he is a foreigner too. I know that
this message will come to you as a surprise as we don't know our selves
before. We will sign an agreement, but be sure that it is real and a genuine
business.
I only got your contact address from my secretary who operates computer,
with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. You
are the only person that I have contacted in this business; so please reply
urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take immediately. Send
also your private telephone and fax number including the full details of the
account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face or sign a
binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this money
into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund will be
safe. And I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other
investments.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign
account and foreign
beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because
the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner, who has
correct information of this account, which I will give to you later
immediately, if you are able and with capability to handle such amount in
strict confidence and trust according to my instructions and advice for our
mutual benefit because this opportunity will never come again in my life. I
need truthful person in this business because I don't want to make mistake I
need your strong assurance and trust.
With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any
foreigner's reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for
sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive
this money leaving no trace to any place. You can also come to discuss with
me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your presence and
two of us will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the money
going into the account.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that
you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account. I will use my
position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this
money to your account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and
foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30% of the total
amount, 35% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
MR.JOHNSON JOE.
